Some states have implemented policies that have led to significant reductions in those on SNAP that did not affect the truly needy.

GA & ME are 2 that I can think of.

If you are of working age and have no dependents, to qualify you must be actively seeking work, enrolled in job training or do a small amount of community service.

Another way to cut costs is that if your children are enrolled in free meals at school that cost will be deducted from your benefits.

Also limiting what can be purchased.

Recent report showed that the #1 item purchased with SNAP was soda pop.

They buy the pop ad resell it back to the grocery store for half in cash. Happens all the time.
